HV Math is a family of sans serif fonts, inspired by
Helvetica(TM) typeface.
Helvetica is a classical sample of industrial sans serif faces
designed by Max Miedinger and introduced in 1961.
Contemporary sans serif design, Helvetica is in tune with the mood of
the last decades of the twentieth century. Helvetica is a versatile
family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text
setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc.

HV Math comprises the fonts necessary for mathematical typesetting
(maths italic, math symbols and extensions) in normal
and bold weights. The family also includes
all OT1
and T1
encoded text fonts of various shapes, as well as fonts with
most useful glyphs of the TS1
encoding.
Additionally this collection provides necessary files for
using the fonts with plain TeX, LaTeX 2.09 and LaTeX 2e.

Use of HV Math requires a working TeX 3.0+ system,
including support for the virtual fonts (part of 3.0+ standard).
HV Math cannot be used with the Y&Y software (pre-3.0
TeX, no virtual font support), or TrueTeX (insufficient Type 1 support).
VTeX, Unix TeX/teTeX, Windows MikTeX, fpTeX, and any dvips/pdfTeX based
systems are supported.
